Just wanna let you all know i made a new interactive script i use as my new daily driver now. Its super smooth, great battery life and a very nice idle drain. Its based on the Fairpark script and optimized to achieve more smoothness. I only tested this with stock rom, but it should also works with custom roms. I called it FairyTale. Enjoy :)

Importing init.d scripts (kernel adiutor) :

1. Use a file browser, mount system and give r/w permission.

2. Place the init.d script(s) in system/etc/init.d and give rwx r-x r-x permission ( create init.d folder if not present)

3. Open kernel adiutor and go to the unit.d section, select the script and "execute". Finished.
[X Play General] raptorskate:
Thanks!! Will try it right now, can you write the settings here? Just to see the differences you made? :)
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Its a bit much to write all down but talking about basic cpu settings it looks like below.I also disabled the bcl driver to prevent cores go offline when reaching low battery level and enabled tunable scaling and input boost. You can play with the input boost speeds or disable.

Edit :) input boost 480ms 1113MHz big cores.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Just about to try FairyTale. Great name by the way, [MENTION=5725023]Sickaxis79[/MENTION]. :P

Starting at 99% battery let's see how I do. I've been avergaing about 4 days with 5.5 hours SOT and 3 hours on phone. A lot of mobile music and MLB streaming - it IS playoff season after all.

I will report back after a few cycles of FairyTale. Thanks again to Sick for making our X Plays even sexier.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Well I've gone through a few cycles with FairyTale now and am certainly noticihn that the performance is very smooth but my overall battery life has come down a bit. All in all I'm not overly concerned with this as I still average over 3 days battery life and 5 hours SOT. I'll stick with FairyTale for now and may move onto Nougat soon. Again, big thanks to everyone that contributed to this thread. The data within these pages has been helpful to so many so give yourselves a pat on the back and enjoy your MXP.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
OK everyone. Reviving an old thread here but without a doubt the latest version of GlassFish is the best for performance. 3 and a half days battery life and over 7 hours SOT. Very impressive and another big thank you to [MENTION=5725023]Sickaxis79[/MENTION].

All scripts are future-proof! Link below:

[X Play General] Leni_YO:
impressive. any other tweaks? screen brightness to the lowest?
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Nah. I've got adaptive brightness on at about 40% for daytime and 20% if I'm reading in bed.
[X Play General] villadecai:
can i delete fairy tale and put glassfish with a root explorer?
[X Play General] Chaninoza:
Yes, any script. With proper permissions (0755 my guess?)
[X Play General] villadecai:
and thats it is? nothing else? delte the fairy tale archive and place the glassfish?

does it affect to the kernel setup i have? i changed the governors parameters
[X Play General] Chaninoza:
Yes, it affects the parameters. The same way fairytale did. After applying the script on kernel adiutor you can change them anyway you want.
[X Play General] pijes:
You'll probably not gonna get high benchmark results with lionfish.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
I got about 730 and 2900 with lionfish and your setup, pijes.

For some reason though I can't get the values to stick on the little cluster...I wonder why that is...
[X Play General] pijes:
Make the changes, exit Kernel Auditor and restart.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Meh. Didn't want to take even after a restart, toggling the apply on boot on and off, and restarting the phone. When I boot it up it reverts to default settings - on the little cluster only. No idea why.
[X Play General] pijes:
Apparently happened to me as well. After a while I think I found my best setup. The only change from my previous screenshot is I changed the jump_level to 1.1ghz mimicking the speed on interactive governor.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Try this dude - go to CPU and disable apply on boot. Change your settings to desired values. Enable apply on boot. Reboot and see if the settings stuck. It worked for me in my most recent interactive mod.
[X Play General] ronak123456:
SOT: 8 HRS?? with playing games as well or just normal usage..!!?
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Just normal usage. I don't really play games on my phone - only simple 2D crossword puzzles and such. Good question though.
[X Play General] ronak123456:
So, can you test and let me know after playing games, watching vidoes, calls, whatsapp etc...how much SOT you get? Coz the SOT of 8 HRS...can be possible only without doing this things and maybe more even if the screen is just on and doing nothing. I am only getting like 4 hrs max and i was on stock kernal.

So, plz can use the phone as a power user and let us know the result :) if possible.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
1 hour of video, 1 hour of calls, recorded 4 1080p videos (~6 minutes total), WiFi always on, used the Camera for about 10 minutes, took 40 photos, WhatsApp often...probably 2 hours of recording audio and messaging... That's kind of my standard battery drain activity. The only thing missing is games I guess. I've run GeekBench for about 1h38 minutes so that's kind of like a game... Currently my SOT with 24% battery is 6 hours 15 minutes

Is that more helpful?

P.S. 4 hours sounds like a defect to me.
[X Play General] ronak123456:
Ok, well pretty decent use...but i will still want to know the exact SOT you get :P just to make sure LOL so i can also use this haha..!! and yes 4 hrs i am getting is coz i play games like asphalt 8, subway surfer, browse websites, calls, youtube, and whatsapp, facebook, messenger..so high usage..comparing this to your 8 hrs SOT i am guessing the average could be around 5hrs or max..still i will see to it..Thnx for replying though :)
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Chrome is a killer. Web browsing is a real drain. I do some browsing also, but probably only around 1 hour total in a typical discharge cycle. I'm more of a messenger and video/camera guy.
[X Play General] ronak123456:
I can understand that :) just wanted to know LOL...

I sometimes still wonder how ppl get good SOT with tweaks...am i the only one getting 4 hrs? LOL
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Looks like it dude. Hahaha. 4 hours is realllly low. I used to get 4 hours with my Nexus 4 on its BEST days.
[X Play General] ronak123456:
:( i dnt know what to do then LOL...!! Can you or someone give some options to try with kernal to get more SOT?

I guess its still better for me being heavy user..!! as my xperia Z would die in 1hr LOL...!!

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Just curious to also know, if 8 hrs SOT that you get, was like continous 8 hrs or the phone also went to sleep? whats the total time for battery from that 8hrs was SOT, so i am guessing you must have got 10+hrs of battery?? in total from 100% to 0%? i maybe wrong...
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Oh my phone lasted for about three or four days. I don't remember. It was more rhan 48 hours, that's for sure

I posted some stuff earlier on the thread regarding maximizing battery. I responded to Vikram. Look for it!
[X Play General] ronak123456:
3 to 4 days from 100% to 0% with 8 hrs SOT??? can you give screenshot LOL i dont belive it haha..!!

Which means, 8 hrs SOT so according to you 48 HRS it lasted - which is 48 hrs - 8 hrs screen on time - 40 hrs it give you standby time? LOL did you even use the phone? :P just wondering...!!! hahaha
[X Play General] pijes:
want even more battery life? do this - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63210363&postcount=152
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
If you use stock rom and flash squid's kernel you can reach 8 hours sot easily with browsing and watching videos.If you use apps like Facebook and other battery consuming services like listen to "OK google ,moto voice,send user statistics,find my phone etc. you won't get 8 sot.Just disable all services you don't use and keep your brightness low.I also use Greenify to auto hibernate user apps when the screen goes off.
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
If you don't care that much about battery life and just wanna have great performance I can advice cm12.1 and flash Phoenix kernel v1.5 and put the governor on conservative.It's the smoothest experience I have had so far.Yesterday i downgraded from stock mm running the new squids oc kernel, but this cm12 running phoenix kernel is just as smooth and even feels a little smoother.Can't say anything about battery life yet.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
That battery life with lionfish governor

Big cores min and max set to 200 and 800 while little cores min and max set to 499 and 1209.?
[X Play General] ronak123456:
HI, I am using kernal auditor and made changes to only governers and my asphalt 8 is crashing...is this the reason

I've set Big CPU governer to lionfish and little to ondemand..!! and nothing changed
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Keep same governors for both cores and reboot. Check.
[X Play General] ronak123456:
Ok will do that..also I just tried your setup and the phone became a little unusual like a little slow..!!

Do you recommend any good setup for good performance and battery both?
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Yes my setup is a bit towards battery saving. A little slow I can cope up with.

My interpretation of lag is a bit different.

Try increasing the min frequency of both clusters on lionfish governor and check then for fluidity.
[X Play General] ronak123456:
still how much? what is your recommendation for battery and performance together?
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Above 400
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
[MENTION=5978721]K.khiladi[/MENTION] You're a pro. I got 7 hours SOT last discharge and I was doing custom interactive setup. I restarted the phone 8 times, did a nandroid or two and ran GeekBench for an hour and a half. This phomenis a beast. My mom/max in the big is 533/1709 and little is 499/1209. I did some customizing in the tunables section and I am very pleased so far. Doing another discharge to verify the above results.

[MENTION=2593808]pijes[/MENTION] - cool idea about the screen resolution. That looks cool but my 1080p video fetish won't translate. :P
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
During my usage I mostly browsed Internet through uc and chrome, you can see that. Also chatted a lot.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Chrome is a pig on battery life man. Do you have a good alternative browser? I've heard Javelin is good.

I'll pretend not to be jealous that you weren't chatting with me. :P Hahaha.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
?? UC browser is the one I use.

Dont be jealous. ?
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
If you like power, check phoenix kernel 1.6.

Just flashed it and this one got plenty of power :)
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
But that's not compatible with stock MM. ?
[X Play General] VikramW8:
How did this happen? :eek: The cores won't turn on.. This has happened 2 to 3 times. I have to reboot to turn on the cores :/ I wonder if I can completely turn off the little cores ? Will it give me better performance if only the big cores work all the time? My mom's Moto G2 recently received a Marshmallow update and it is faster than my MXP :'(
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Big cores turn off below a certain percentage. I think 20%. This is in an effort to prolong battery. Keep your phone charged! :)
[X Play General] VikramW8:
Thanks :)
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
My pleasure. I believe it's in the battery life's best interest to not be fully drained as well. I think when you get down to 10-15% you should charge it up. I believe this will prolong the overall life of your battery and allow you to keep this beastly phone for 4 years instead of just 3 or even 2. This is inherent to Li-ion technology.

But what the hell - just pop the back case off and unscrew some screws and you can replace your own battery and keep your phone for 10 years. Hahaha.
[X Play General] VikramW8:
Hahahahahahha.... 4 years with this phone.. Nexus 4 was a really beast.. Never stuttered in the past three years.. This is just a Sheep in a Wolf's clothing.. Even with the performance governor on and the temperature throttle off, all this when the phone is cool can't run without stuttering... I'm delighted by the multimedia experience - the gorgeous display, the wonderful camera, a nice loudspeaker and expandable storage and dual sim support and the gigantic battery but this phone can't really keep up with a three year old Nexus 4. -_-
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
It's a mid Ranger. ?
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
I'm having a great experience with it man I don't know why it's so stubborn for you. I guess there are some microlags but for me if I don't have to plug my phone in every day I'm happy. I charge my phone probably twice a week, and that is a great feeling for me.

This phone is not a flagship phone. I think it's intended for average-slightly heavier use. It won't pull the best benchmark scores but the phones that do need to be charged nightly. The value of this phone is great for me.

Just like a man, a phone must know its own limitations. Hahaha
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
My experience with the nexus 4 was the opposite.The mainboard and touchscreen died after 9 months.Poor battery life,bad build quality and overheating problems.Playing games was only a tiny faster,but the mxp overall performance feels a lot better with 8 cores instead of 4.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Agreed. My N4 also lagged like a pig. I didn't use my phone for much back then, I guess because it could only handle such little load. I still got 3.5 hours SOT out of it though and minimal drain because of custom kernels.

I had my N4 for 3 years and now the screen is starting to fall off. I guess I'm lucky it lasted that long.

Best Setup For Gaming Performance

Hello. I have a question and request. Question is which rom and kernel will be the best for gaming ? Request is help me choose the best setup. Thanks :)
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Hey - welcome to the thread.

I think that the snappiest ROM out there right now is either stock or in my experience Bliss 6.1. I pulled some really high scores from Bliss with squid2's r15 OC kernel.

I would recommend trying his OC kernel first then if you're comfortable, compare gaming experience on stock and Bliss. Make sure you make backups of your current and test systems too, and do familiarize yourself with proper ROM flashing procedures.

Good luck! Please do report back to us!
[X Play General] dzesiu2002:
This rom http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-play/development/rom-blisspop-v4-0-1-t3207964 ? And this kernel http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-play/orig-development/kernel-squid-kernel-moto-x-play-t3200039 ?
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Exactly. I would recommend going to the blissroms website and finding the latest release under the lux header. Lux is the codename of the Moto X Play, so any time you see lux you know it's for our phones.

Good luck!
[X Play General] dzesiu2002:
Thanks. I have two more question to you. I need bootloader unlocked or just root ? What about temperature while playing in hard games ? :)
[X Play General] VikramW8:
Hey guys,

This is with CM12.1 Jan 25 and Phoenix v1.6. Suprizingly the score is higher than what I got while testing with Marshmallux v1.0 and Squid's OC kernel by 14K!!! But the 3D scores have taken a hit. Previously I used to get 7K but now it is quite low. I'll run tests and post again. Next time I'll post Geekbench 3 scores too. The phone is noticeably faster than what it was on Marshmallux and Squid but the animations aren't as smooth as they were before.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Hey. I would recommend an unlocked bootloader because you can't have root without it I believe.

Insofar as temperature in heavy games is concerned, I can't really comment on that. I've seen the CPU get up to 50 degrees Celsius and battery ~37 degrees Celsius. I'd imagine the battery could get up to 40-45 if heavy load is sustained.

Hope that helps!
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Hey Vik. Thanks a lot for your post. Those are some great scores but the 3D really has come down. I'm posting my GeekBench3 results with squid OC and Bliss 6.1. Default squid CPU settings, GPU simpleondemand, I/O internal row 512 external fiops 512. For the record my GeekBench scores are the highest-to-date on the XT1563 sheets! :good:

http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/search?dir=desc&q=XT1563&sort=score
[X Play General] VikramW8:
That's awesome mike? Here are my scores with the aforementioned setup. Could you also post your antutu scores for comparison?
[X Play General] dangnhap01:
hey guys

after 2 week to make sure my x play get pass the 14 day return policy, i decided to root and install a custom rom on it

what is the most stable rom right now ? ( non-stock of course )
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Cm12.1
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
I'm having a great experience with Bliss 6.1 myself. CM12.1 is based on 5.1.1 so if that makes a difference to you, you could try one of the CM13 variants. Bliss has been the most stable for me and is my current daily driver. I've pulled some great benchmarks and have a very smooth performance experience. Battery life is on par with stock for me. I have yet to play with the governor too much but as an example my phone was at 77% and 7 hours later (deep sleep, of course) it was at 74%. I'm happy with that drain.

I would go with either CM12.1 or Bliss 6.1.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
I don't have antutu installed. I've heard somewhat negative things about its benchmark biases and inconsistencies.

Your GeekBench scores seem a bit low. I'm not sure if that has to do with Android 5.1.1 but I think stock Marshmallow will pull about 680-720 single and 2620-2740 multi. You can compare with different reviews of the Moto X Play. Most reviews have GeekBench scores. Remember though that your user experience is worth much MUCH more than some numbers from a synthetic benchmark. :p

Now testing Ultra Kernel R3 / interactive / I-O row 512

It seems even the random lag with intensive 3d games is gone ! Impressive ;) Will report about the battery life later.

My additional setup on Stock ROM:

- debloated / frozen apps

- wifi scanning while sleep: never

- developer options: force gpu

- no Greenify (was acting weird recently)

- notifications off for Whatsapp/FB lite (I check them manually)
[X Play General] dzesiu2002:
XxMikeMasterxX and dev>null can you guys test game N.O.V.A 3 ? Both of you have another rom and kernel. Let's see which will be smoother. Thanks.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Hey man,

Sorry. I don't really play games on my device so I can't test that particular one for you. My impression is that it would run a touch smoother than on Ultra r3 because of the OC but also a little hotter. Plus it's a 1.69 GB download!? Holy s***! Hahaha.

Hey [MENTION=5160773]dev>null[/MENTION] - great to see you here. Glad you rooted your phone and are testing out some new stuff. I'd recommend squid's OC for gaming and performance. I'm using the default values and am getting really great performance - I'm zipping through huge webpages like it's nothing and between apps without any lag whatsoever. There might be the occasional stutter jut that's likely because of Bliss 6.1. I'm loving that CM13 variant though - plus the OTA capability is very handy.

I have some great lionfish settings as well thanks to [MENTION=2593808]pijes[/MENTION]. He configured the CPU governor to run nearly as smoothly as interactive but with the battery benefits of lionfish. I am happy to share these values with you all once I test them out further myself. I am currently doing a few discharges of the default settings to test battery life and performance. PM me or reply here if you're interested in seeing the lionfish setup.

How have others been configuring their devices lately?
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Almost....at....800...
[X Play General] dev>null:
Hey Mike! As I knew...it was just a matter of time. Could not resist rooting and experimenting :D

Well! That sounds interesting :good: Do you mind posting the settings here ? ;) Thanks man.
[X Play General] soumitpl48:
Hey guys, have anyone tried ondemand on Squid's OC? If anyone has, can you please compare the pro and cons between this and interactive? Thanks.
[X Play General] dev>null:
Ondemand is more conservative, less performance, more battery. Interactive is the opposite ;)
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Hey dev,

So what do the following two options do?

wifi scanning while sleep: never

- developer options: force gpu

Does the first mean that WiFi turns off during sleep and reconnects when you tap the power button?

Does the second save load on the CPU?
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
[MENTION=5160773]dev>null[/MENTION]

BIG THANKS TO [MENTION=2593808]pijes[/MENTION] FOR THESE SETTINGS!

The below settings should nicely blend performance and battery life.

Governor: Lionfish

Cluster: BIG

MAX frequency: 1113

MIN frequency: 345

Governor Tunables:

up_threshold 40

ignore_nice_load 0

jump_level 1113600

jump_threshold 50

sampling_down_factor 1

sampling_rate 160000

sampling_rate_min 80000

sampling_up_factor 3

up_threshold 50

LITTLE

MAX frequency: 1113/1209

MIN frequency 800

Governor Tunables: stock

[MENTION=2593808]pijes[/MENTION] also found that changing the up and jump thresholds to 50 in the LITTLE cluster helped with response time and performance. The option is up to you but please consult a good source before tuning governors as outcomes could be erratic if improperly done.

Try out the new settings for lionfish and post your feedback here!
[X Play General] dev>null:
Yes, the first one saves battery switching off the wifi when sleeping.

The second one is more about performance and smoothness...on such a new device as MXP should have very little impact on battery life. Still testing it anyway ;)

...and optimization #3

Settings/ Location / top 3 dots (advanced menu) / Scanning Wi-FI and Bluetooth off

;)

Btw: thanks for posting the lionfish settings...will check with them too!
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
My pleasure man. Try them out for sure. Also try Bliss 6.1 when you get a chance. The ROM is based on 6.0.1 and has been a great experience so far. Plus it has an OTA feature which is really neat. Smoothness is great. Using it with default squid OC settings. Running nicely! Stable enough to be a daily driver.

I'll check back into my stock backup at some point, but still trying to find bugs and whatnot with Bliss. But that stock Moto Display just can't be beat...
[X Play General] dev>null:
[MENTION=7240937]XxMikeMasterxX[/MENTION] great tip! The lionfish tuning made it snappier !!! will check how's battery life and report ;)
[X Play General] dev>null:
After a few days I can confirm that latest setting posted here in this thread are fantastic!

Great performance and incredible battery life. No lag. No overheating in normal activity. A little heating while playing 3d games, but that's normal.

Last tip from me, is to drop Greenify, Purify and all these heavy apps, switching to Servicely. This one is amazing, does all you need, is very customizable and also very light!

Try it, you won't repent! A little note, on Marshmallow you'll need to move the app package "manually" from /Android/data/ to /system/priv-app/ for it to work properly.
